Boss, a loner, loved to dive derelict spacecraft adrift in the blackness of space...
But one day, she found a ship that would change everything - an ancient Dignity Vessel - and aboard the ship, the mysterious and dangerous Stealth Tech. Now, years after discovering that first ship, Boss has put together a large company that finds Dignity Vessels and finds "loose" stealth technology.
Following a hunch, Boss and her team come to investigate the city of Vaycehn, where fourteen archeologists have died exploring the endless caves below the city. Mysterious "death holes" explode into the city itself for no apparent reason, and Boss believes stealth tech is involved. As Boss searches for the answer to the mystery of the death holes, she will uncover the answer to her Dignity Vessel quest as well - and one more thing, something so important that it will change her life - and the universe - forever.

On her wedding day, a little over ten years before, Indie decided to focus her restless energy on creating the image of the perfect wife to her husband, Will, and later, mother to her beloved and eagerly awaited twins. However, things were surfacing that she could no longer ignore. First, was the simple fact that she’d seemed to stop aging. This, coupled with her well-hidden secret from childhood, that she never actually slept, was testing Indie’s ability to live the lie. But she was trying. And then he found her.

Glen Duncan has been hailed by the Times Literary Supplement (London) as one of Britain's twenty best young novelists, alongside such writers as Hari Kunzru and Zadie Smith. His new novel, I, Lucifer -- shortlisted for the Geoffrey Faber Award -- is a satirical tour de force fueled by a scorching, hyper-intelligent wit that burns up the pages. The End is nigh, and the Prince of Darkness has been given one last shot at redemption, if he can manage to live out a reasonably blameless life on earth. As a trial run, he negotiates a month of "trying without buying" in the body of struggling writer Declan Gunn. ("Incarnation, the angelic drug of choice. Unlike cocaine, not to be sniffed at.") Luce seizes the opportunity to binge on earthly delights, to straighten the biblical record (Adam, it's hinted, was a misguided variation on the Eve design), to celebrate his favorite achievements (Elton John, for one), and to try to get his screenplay sold, but the experience of walking among us isn't what His Majesty expected: instead of teaching us what it's like to be him, Lucifer finds himself understanding what it's like to be human.

Creatures full of magic and whimsy?
Not in the Oakenwyld. Not anymore.
Deep inside the great Oak lies a dying faery realm, bursting with secrets instead of magic. Long ago the faeries mysteriously lost their magic. Robbed of their powers, they have become selfish and dull-witted. Now their numbers are dwindling and their very survival is at stake.
Only one young faery - Knife - is determined to find out where her people's magic has gone and try to get it back. Unlike her sisters, Knife is fierce and independent.

Can Knife trust Paul to help, or has she brought the faeries even closer to the brink of destruction?
Talented newcomer R. J. Anderson creates an extraordinary new fantasy world and weaves a gripping tale of lost magic, high adventure, and surprising friendship in which the fate of an entire realm rests on the shoulders of one brave faery rebel.

On an island in the middle of a waterbound world, Bran ekes out a meagre, solitary but not entirely unpleasant existance, knowing that his kingdom is slowly but surely washing into the sea. It is a matter of some doubt which will last the longest - him or the island. He has been exiled there by his subjects for terrible deeds but, one day, an unexpected, unbidden visitor means he must return home to face his past.
I was worried that this book might turn out to be pretentious or boring but from the moment I opended it up I was hooked. It's slow moving and by no means exciting, but it is profoundly absorbing. True, the story dragged for a while towards the end of the first half and I found the raft escape sequence a little far-fetched (indeed some of the aspects of Bran's survival on the island were a little hard to swallow). Soon after this, however, things became deeply intriguing and it developed into a bit of a page-turner. The latter half took on an almost supernatural feel and I have to admit that much of the meaning of the ending escaped me. I think that I'll have to read it again because, for one thing, I was reading so quickly at this stage to get to the denouement that I fear that much of the detail, and perhaps some of the explanation, escaped me.
The drowning world that Bruce describes is an interesting idea. The story takes the opportunity to explore the concept with tantalising glmpses into the world's past but, cruelly, the story never really follows this thread and we are left with so many questions unanswered.
Bruce's writing is highly accomplished, lucid and, yes, unpretentious. He paints his landscape with skill and he gives a real sense of place. The atmosphere he evokes is very dreamlike and this novel has the slightly unexpected feel (given its billing as a debut) of the work of an experienced and capable author.
The protagonist and narrator, Bran, is a sympathetic character and remains so even as the awful reasons for his banishment become clear. He has strong parallels with many of the characters who play on the international stage in our own world; people we revile as criminals or mad-men. In this way, Bruce poses some uncomfortable questions about our attitude towards and treatment of such people and about the complicity of the people who give them their mandate by inaction and apathy. The novel is about guilt but not Bran's guilt: ours.
I really enjoyed this read. It's not a book I would normally have picked up, but I'm glad that I did and the enigmatic ending, although unsatisfying in some ways, begs a return at some stage in the near future for a more careful analysis. I hope we see a little more of Alastair Bruce in the future.
PS: Note that this is not a book to rush through (as I did); it's one that deserves - requires - close attention, care and consideration.

Kirith Kirin is like no other fantasy that you have ever read.
Jim Grimsley has created a fantasy that could have come right from our world where power and greed can tempt, and sometimes conquer, even the most rightist person and where knowing who your friends and enemies are can be very difficult if not impossible. Yet it is not our world. For in Kirith Kirin's world magic is real, immortals walk the land, and people are sometimes the playthings for the dark arts.
The Blue Queen, upon resuming the throne while King Kirith Kirin's eternality is renewed in the Arthen forest, has partnered with a magician of the dark arts. No longer does she need to leave the throne to renew her eternal nature. Swayed by promises of the dark magician, she has claimed the throne forever and is extending her influence to the far corners of the world.
Malleable grey clouds, sidewinding wind, and intelligent lightning bolts made the trip across the vast Girdle nearly impossible. Out of nowhere, the Blue Queen's Patrols made haste to kill the boy and the warrior before they could safely reach the deep forest of Arthen. Riding upon two magnificent stallions, one a royal Prince out of Queen Mnemarra, Jessex and his uncle Sivisal reached Arthen despite a deadly storm that reeked of magic.
Thus begins Jessex's new life as he enters Arthen and moves into the royal court of Kirith Kirin.
